According to the invention the compounds of general formula I areobtained by methods known per se, for example by the following methods:

a) reacting a compound of general formula

whereinR¹ to R³ are as hereinbefore defined andZ¹ denotes a leaving group such as a halogen atom, a substitutedhydroxy, mercapto, sulphinyl, sulphonyl or sulphonyloxy group such as achlorine or bromine atom, a methanesulphonyl or methanesulphonyloxygroup, with 3-aminopiperidine, the enantiomers thereof or the saltsthereof.

The reaction is expediently carried out in a solvent such asisopropanol, butanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide,dimethylsulphoxide, ethyleneglycol monomethylether, ethyleneglycoldiethylether or sulpholane, optionally in the presence of an inorganicor tertiary organic base, e.g. sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate orpotassium hydroxide, a tertiary organic base, e.g. triethylamine, or inthe presence of N-ethyl-diisopropylamine (Hünig base), while theseorganic bases may simultaneously also serve as solvent, and optionallyin the presence of a reaction accelerator such as an alkali metal halideor a palladium-based catalyst at temperatures between −20 and 180° C.,but preferably at temperatures between −10 and 120° C. The reaction may,however, also be carried out without a solvent or in an excess of the3-aminopiperidine.

b) deprotecting a compound of general formula

wherein R¹, R² and R³ are as hereinbefore defined.

The tert.-butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved by treatment withan acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid or bytreatment with bromotrimethylsilane or iodotrimethylsilane, optionallyusing a solvent such as methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, dioxane,methanol, isopropanol or diethyl ether at temperatures between 0 and 80°C.

c) In order to prepare a compound of general formula I wherein R¹according to the definition provided hereinbefore contains a carboxygroup:deprotecting a compound of general formula

wherein R² and R³ are as hereinbefore defined and R^(1′) contains acarboxy group protected by a C₁₋₄-alkyl group.

The protecting group is cleaved by hydrolysis, for example, using anacid such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid or an alkali metalhydroxide such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassiumhydroxide in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol,tetrahydrofuran or dioxane in the presence of water.

In the reactions described hereinbefore, any reactive groups presentsuch as carboxy, amino, alkylamino or imino groups may be protectedduring the reaction by conventional protecting groups which are cleavedagain after the reaction.

For example, a protecting group for a carboxy group may be atrimethylsilyl, methyl, ethyl, tert.butyl, benzyl or tetrahydropyranylgroup and

protecting groups for an amino, alkylamino or imino group may be aformyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, ethoxycarbonyl, tert.butoxycarbonyl,benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl, methoxybenzyl or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl groupand additionally, for the amino group, a phthalyl group.

Any protecting group used is optionally subsequently cleaved for exampleby hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water,acetic acid/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxane/water, in thepresence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid orsulphuric acid or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodiumhydroxide or potassium hydroxide or aprotically, e.g. in the presence ofiodotrimethylsilane, at temperatures between 0 and 120° C., preferablyat temperatures between 10 and 100° C.

However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved,for example, hydrogenolytically, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of acatalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a suitable solvent such asmethanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or glacial acetic acid, optionally withthe addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperaturesbetween 0 and 100° C., but preferably at temperatures between 20 and 60°C., and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 3 to 5 bar.A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group, however, is preferably cleaved intrifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisol.

A tert.butyl or tert.butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved bytreating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acidor by treating with iodotrimethylsilane, optionally using a solvent suchas methylene chloride, dioxan, methanol or diethylether.

A trifluoroacetyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acidsuch as hydrochloric acid, optionally in the presence of a solvent suchas acetic acid at temperatures between 50 and 120° C., or by treatingwith sodium hydroxide solution, optionally in the presence of a solventsuch as tetrahydrofuran at temperatures between 0 and 50° C.

A phthalyl group is preferably cleaved in the presence of hydrazine or aprimary amine such as methylamine, ethylamine or n-butylamine in asolvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, toluene/water or dioxanat temperatures between 20 and 50° C.

Moreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may be resolvedinto their enantiomers and/or diastereomers, as mentioned hereinbefore.Thus, for example, cis/trans mixtures may be resolved into their cis andtrans isomers, and compounds with at least one optically active carbonatom may be separated into their enantiomers.

Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixtures may be resolved bychromatography into the cis and trans isomers thereof, the compounds ofgeneral formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated bymethods known per se (cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in “Topics inStereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their opticalantipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetriccarbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis oftheir physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g. bychromatography and/or fractional crystallisation, and, if thesecompounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently beresolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.

The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiralphases or by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or byreacting with an optically active substance which forms salts orderivatives such as e.g. esters or amides with the racemic compound,particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof,and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thusobtained, e.g. on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilstthe free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts orderivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids incommon use are e.g. the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid ordibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelicacid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinicacid. An optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or (−)-mentholand an optically active acyl group in amides, for example, may be a (+)-or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl.

Furthermore, the compounds of formula I may be converted into the saltsthereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologicallyacceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may beused for this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromicacid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid,lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or maleic acid.

Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I thus obtained contain acarboxy group, they may subsequently, if desired, be converted into thesalts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly forpharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof.Suitable bases for this purpose include for example sodium hydroxide,potassium hydroxide, arginine, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine,diethanolamine and triethanolamine.

The compounds of general formulae II to IV used as starting materialsare either known from the literature or may be obtained by methods knownfrom the literature (cf. Examples I to LXXI).

As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of general formula Iaccording to the invention and the physiologically acceptable saltsthereof have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly aninhibiting effect on the enzyme DPP-IV.

The biological properties of the new compounds were investigated asfollows:

The ability of the substances and their corresponding salts to inhibitthe DPP-IV activity can be demonstrated in a test set-up in which anextract of human colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 is used as the DPP-IVsource. The differentiation of the cells in order to induce the DPP-IVexpression was carried out as described by Reiher et al. in an articleentitled “Increased expression of intestinal cell line Caco-2”, whichappeared in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. Vol. 90, pages 5757-5761 (1993). Thecell extract was obtained from cells solubilised in a buffer (10 mM TrisHCl, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.04 t.i.u. aprotinin, 0.5% Nonidet-P40, pH 8.0) bycentrifuging at 35,000 g of for 30 minutes at 4° C. (to remove celldebris).

The DPP-IV assay was carried out as follows:

50 μl substrate solution (AFC; AFC is amido-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin),final concentration 100 μM, were placed in black microtitre plates. 20μl of assay buffer (final concentrations 50 mM Tris HCl pH 7.8, 50 mMNaCl, 1% DMSO) was pipetted in. The reaction was started by adding 30 μlof solubilised Caco-2 protein (final concentration 0.14 μg of proteinper well). The test substances to be investigated were typically addedprediluted in 20 μl, and the volume of assay buffer was then reducedaccordingly. The reaction was carried out at ambient temperature,incubating for 60 minutes. Then the fluorescence was measured in aVictor 1420 Multilabel Counter, the excitation wavelength being 405 nmand the emission wavelength being 535 nm. Blank readings (correspondingto 0% activity) were obtained in mixtures without any Caco-2 protein(volume replaced by assay buffer), control values (corresponding to 100%activity) were obtained in mixtures with no substance added. The potencyof the test substances in question, expressed as IC₅₀ values, wascalculated from dosage/activity curves consisting of 11 measuring pointsin each case. The following results were obtained:

The compounds prepared according to the invention are well tolerated, asfor example when 10 mg/kg of the compound of Example 2(80) wereadministered to rats by oral route no changes in the animals' behaviourcould be detected.

In view of their ability to inhibit DPP-IV activity, the compounds ofgeneral formula I according to the invention and the correspondingpharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are suitable for treating allthose conditions or illnesses which can be influenced by the inhibitionof the DPP-IV activity. It is therefore to be expected that thecompounds according to the invention will be suitable for the preventionor treatment of diseases or conditions such as type 1 and type 2diabetes mellitus, diabetic complications (such as e.g. retinopathy,nephropathy or neuropathies), metabolic acidosis or ketosis, reactivehypoglycaemia, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidaemias ofvarious origins, arthritis, atherosclerosis and related diseases,obesity, allograft transplantation and calcitonin-induced osteoporosis.In addition these substances are capable of preventing B-celldegeneration such as e.g. apoptosis or necrosis of pancreatic B-cells.The substances are also suitable for improving or restoring the functionof pancreatic cells and also increasing the number and size ofpancreatic B-cells. Additionally, and on the basis of the role of theGlucagon-Like Peptides, such as e.g. GLP-1 and GLP-2 and their link withDPP-IV inhibition, it is likely that the compounds according to theinvention are suitable for achieving, inter alia, a sedative oranxiety-relieving effect and also for favourably affecting catabolicstates after operations or hormonal stress responses or reducingmortality or morbidity after myocardial infarct. They are also suitablefor treating all conditions which are connected with the above mentionedeffects and which are mediated by GLP-1 or GLP-2. The compoundsaccording to the invention may also be used as diuretics orantihypertensives and are suitable for preventing and treating acuterenal failure.

Itis also likely that they can be used for all kinds of damage to orimpairment of the gastrointestinal tract such as colitis and enteritis,for example. It is also expected that DPP-IV inhibitors and hence alsothe compounds according to the invention may be used to treatinfertility or to improve fertility in humans or mammals, particularlywhen the infertility is connected with insulin resistance or polycysticovary syndrome. On the other hand these substances are suitable foraffecting sperm motility and can thus be used as male contraceptives.The substances are also suitable for treating deficiencies of growthhormone which are associated with reduced stature, and may also be usedto advantage in any indications in which growth hormone may be used. Thecompounds according to the invention are also suitable, on the basis oftheir inhibitory effect on DPP-IV, for treating various autoimmunediseases such as e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis,thyroiditis and Basedow's disease, etc. They may also be used to treatviral diseases and also, for example, in HIV infections, for stimulatingblood production, in benign prostatic hyperplasia, gingivitis, as wellas for the treatment of neuronal defects and neurodegenerative diseasessuch as Alzheimer's disease, for example. The compounds described mayalso be used for the treatment of tumours, particularly for modifyingtumour invasion and also metastasisation; examples here are their use intreating T-cell lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, cell-basedpancreatic carcinomas, basal cell carcinomas or breast cancers. Otherindications are stroke, ischaemia of various origins, Parkin-son'sdisease and migraine. In addition, further indications includefollicular and epidermal hyperkeratoses, increased keratinocyteproliferation, psoriasis, encephalomyelitis, glomerulonephritis,lipodystrophies, as well as psycho-somatic, depressive andneuropsychiatric diseases of all kinds.

The compounds according to the invention may also be used in conjunctionwith other active substances. Therapeutic agents which are suitable forsuch combinations include, for example, antidiabetics, such asmetformin, sulphonylureas (e.g. glibenclamide, tolbutamide,glimepiride), nateglinide, repaglinide, thiazolidinedione (e.g.rosiglitazone, pioglitazone), PPAR-gamma agonists (e.g. GI 262570) andantagonists, PPAR-gamma/alpha modulators (e.g. KRP 297),alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g. acarbose, voglibose), other DPPIVinhibitors, alpha2 antagonists, insulin and insulin analogues, GLP-1 andGLP-1 analogues (e.g. exendin-4) or amylin. Also, SGLT2 inhibitors suchas T-1095, inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1, substanceswhich influence deregulated glucose production in the liver, such ase.g. inhibitors of glucose-6-phosphatase, orfructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, glycogen phosphorylase, glucagon receptorantagonists and inhibitors of phosphoenol-pyruvate carboxykinase,glycogen synthase kinase or pyruvate dehydrokinase, lipid loweringagents, such as HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors (e.g. simvastatin,atorvastatin), fibrates (e.g. bezafibrate, fenofibrate), nicotinic acidand its derivatives, PPAR-alpha agonists, PPAR-delta agonists, ACATinhibitors (e.g. avasimibe) or cholesterol resorption inhibitors such asfor example ezetimibe, bile acid-binding substances such as for examplecholestyramine, inhibitors of ileac bile acid transport, HDL-raisingcompounds such as for example inhibitors of CETP or regulators of ABC1or active substances for the treatment of obesity, such as e.g.sibutramine or tetrahydrolipostatin, dexfenfluramine, axokine,antagonists of the cannabinoidl receptor, MCH-1 receptor antagonists,MC4 receptor agonists, NPY5 or NPY2 antagonists or β₃-agonists such asSB-418790 or AD-9677 as well as agonists of the 5HT2c receptor.

It is also possible to combine the compounds with drugs for treatinghigh blood pressure such as e.g. All antagonists or ACE inhibitors,diuretics, β-blockers, Ca-antagonists, etc., or combinations thereof.

The dosage required to achieve such an effect is expediently, byintravenous route, 1 to 100 mg, preferably 1 to 30 mg, and by oral route1 to 1000 mg, preferably 1 to 100 mg, in each case 1 to 4 times a day.For this purpose, the compounds of formula I prepared according to theinvention, optionally combined with other active substances, may beincorporated together with one or more inert conventional carriersand/or diluents, e.g. with corn starch, lactose, glucose,microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone,citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol,water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol,cetylstearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such ashard fat or suitable mixtures thereof into conventional galenicpreparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders,suspensions or suppositories.
